Deb

 On Saturday, April 11 at 3:35 am, Debra (McConkey, Hutton) Vallinga, passed away peacefully surrounded by family including her beloved dog Harley.  

On Wendsday I got to have my last visit with her...

I came alone into her room and said quietly "Hi Deb, I have come to say goodnight"  she said "good,  I am ready for my next adventure".  

I asked her "is there anything you did not finish? Any thing I can do for you?" she said "no, if I left any doors opened I liked them that way".

I asked is there anything I can do for your kids?

She said "just love them".

Actually, I remember what she said exactly because I remember thinking this could be the best relationship advice I ever get.  She said "My kids. *eye roll* They think they are so tough.  Sometimes they will not always let you or want you to love them but that is what you have to do, just love them"

And I mean look at these faces...

I will love them Deb.

Fly on and have a great adventure.
